I just recenly bought a '91 LX 5.0 Vert with 108k miles on it. It starts and runs great. No leaks, trans shifts smoothly. Heres the problem though.

I noticed that when you accelerate from a stop, the car just kinda oozes along and then all of a sudden pulls really hard. It's like the car bogs down when you try and take off. I have done plugs, wires, rotor, dist. cap, pcv valve, fuel filter and injector cleaner with no luck.

I thought maybe the trans wasn't shifting all the way down but it is. The previous owner did some stupid Sh!t and wired in a toyota electric fan and toyota relay with masking tape and sheet rock screws. I'm gonna rip it all out tomorrow and install an electric fan with a thermostat.

I did notice that the car isn't charging quite right. The gauge sits down on the 8 all the time even with the fan unplugged. I know I need new batt clamps but could there be a bad ground? Is my alternator shot?

I know this is long but I've waited many many years to by a vert and don't wanna spend a lot of time begin disappointed.
